Pet care experience

We are a trio (Riven, Matt, Jason) that have mostly work from home schedules. We have individual Rover verified profiles, and this one is Rivens. I have lived with cats, dogs, and animals of all sorts my whole life. After growing up on a farm and being a founding member of the local 4H Club, my love for animals continued to fostering through rescues, volunteering, and my own pets such as my now passed 17 year cat named Moya, whom I had had since she was a few months old. We around a lot of dogs over the course of the week, so we are unable to on any dogs that will not do well with others for more than an over night. If you have feline family, I am happy to play with crinkle balls, laser pointers, or be a lap as needed.

Couldn’t be happier! I was nervous about setting up a drop-in visit last minute, but our usual sitter was out of town. Riven & crew graciously agreed to a meet and greet, and I booked on the spot! The first visit went so well and the dogs were so happy! Will absolutely be booking again!

Riven took great care of Sylvia including sending adorable pictures of her. I would rebook her for a playcation with Riven any time!

Riven was excellent. She was always on time for the scheduled visits, spent time with the dogs, and was very communicative about how they were doing. Our dogs seemed very happy. I would highly recommend Riven
